I am half Italian, 45% German and a little Irish. I love potatoes, a good arabbiata pasta sauce, and sausages.

I find that having a good spicy food every once in a while keeps the viruses and colds away. Have something that hurts a bit every week, plus a bunch of garlic if you enjoy it, and you will be fine.

Interesting.

I find that beef actually beefs me up. I'm serious. I can go for two, three, or four weeks just eating my regular awful food including other meat such as chicken, etc. But then I'll have a steak or some roast and I always feel better and more alert and a little stronger the next day. I'd say it lasts about a day and a half. I've noticed that for years now.

Two recent studies indicated that capsaicin, as in jalapenos and red pepper, will kill cancer cells.
